Mehdi speaks to Labour MP Naz Shah about her journey to politics, Keir Starmer's failures as a leader, and how Gaza is weighing down on voters. They also discuss the release of her memoir, 'Honoured: Survival, Strength, and My Path to Politics', and what led her to public service.

From a violent upbringing to her mother's imprisonment to her rise in politics, Naz Shah details how her experiences have shaped her to be a human-centered politician despite the rise in political violence and division across the U.S. and the UK. Shah also discusses the Islamophobia she's faced in office and the Labour Party's complicity in the Gaza genocide and more.
